Claude is a passionate group training coach who’s been involved in coaching for 12 years. A lifelong Saint Johnner, Claude started weight training at the early age of 14 with his first set of weights that his older sister bought him.  From there, he went on to workout at high school and competed in long distance running and track and field.  

Claude’s passion led him to a gym with group interval training classes where his mentor Sean Barker convinced him to become a coach.

When introduced to “mud runs” Claude was in his glory.  Competing in athletic tasks and getting dirty like a kid was like the best of both worlds, lol.

Claude is now working on his personal training certification, little by little, in the limited time between a busy work schedule and home life.

Claude is a Level 1 Strength Coach.
